A Scroll of Infinite Glory

The moment the wondrous light engulfed him, Guan Luoyang's first sensation was an unusual tranquility.

His gunshot wounds, the weakness from blood loss, and the fatigue from repeated battles all vanished quickly in this feeling.

My whole body has recovered to an unprecedented state of fullness, as if I were at my healthiest moment in my life.

This process seemed both very long and very short.

But in this state, Guan Luoyang's initial frustration and dissatisfaction from being abruptly taken away gradually dissipated, and he sorted out the things he had encountered in a surprisingly clear-headed manner.

The fragment of the painting hidden inside Wu Daozi's scroll is an item related to the reincarnators of the Main God Space. After Guan Luoyang obtained the inheritance of that half of the fragment, he killed the inheritor of the other half of the fragment, thus gaining the attention of the Main God Space and becoming a reincarnator.

Based on the experience he gained from reading online novels during and outside of class when he was in high school, he should be thrown into another world to carry out a mission with a group of novices and a veteran.

"Sigh, there's no use thinking too much now. I just hope I can meet a team that's at least a little more united."

The surrounding light receded like the tide, and the halo that had obscured all vision thinned out, but it did not disappear completely; instead, it turned into a thin layer of light.

The diameter of the light shield was about three meters, and Guan Luoyang felt grounded again.

Beneath my feet lay a patch of deep yellow, damp soil, mixed with a few pebbles. The surroundings, bathed in light, resembled a graveyard, with tombstones of all sizes standing there.

Some of the tombstones were broken, with only half remaining, while some graves had willow branches that looked like they had been recently broken off stuck in front of them.

"Oh? Am I the only one here?"

Guan Luoyang scanned his surroundings and looked into the distance. He could see many lights in the low-lying area, which should be a town.

It's comforting to know that although these tombstones are all in traditional Chinese characters, they are still characters that Guan Luoyang can recognize, proving that this world is not some alien world with a completely different cultural system.

Just as he was thinking this, he noticed lines of text appearing on the light shield.

Congratulations on receiving the official selection opportunity and becoming a novice reincarnator. Next, please complete the tasks assigned by the Supreme God.

Based on a rough assessment of your past, the Supreme God has assigned you to an faction and created a mission for you.

Current world context:

The Zheng Ming Dynasty, Jianwu 81st year.

At that time, the emperor was aloof and incompetent, not involved in any affairs or personal matters. The cabinet ministers worked diligently and earnestly, selecting virtuous and capable officials, preparing for war, and preparing for an imminent northern expedition.

However, the conflict that lasted for decades was far beyond the territory of the Ming Dynasty. In order to control the South Seas and secure the financial support brought by the long-distance trade, the Zheng Ming Dynasty, in the early years of Jianwu, sent Chen Yonghua, the Minister of Personnel and Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, to recover Jiaozhi.

The land of Jiaozhi was abundant with vegetation and teeming with rare birds, but its deep mountains and marshes were rife with miasma. In the eighty-first year of the Jianwu era, a great earthquake struck Jiaozhi, lasting for several months. The earth's energy was disrupted, and corpses and evil spirits emerged from the land.

Demonic and alluring desires lurk in people's hearts, and shadowy figures lurk in the shadows, ready to pounce at any moment.

The task period is three months, and the task details are as follows.

Standard one: Reincarnators must participate in the extermination of evil creatures in the local area of ​​Jiaozhi, and the total number of evil creatures personally exterminated must exceed thirty.

Standard Two: Explore the secrets hidden behind the recent conflict between Buddhism and Taoism in Jiaozhi (Vietnam), and in the recent great battle between Buddhism and Taoism, resolve the conflict between the two sides or choose a side to achieve complete victory.

Standard three: to spread the fame of the reincarnator directly or indirectly, which must attract the attention of at least ten officials of the third rank or above. This applies to both the Zheng Ming Dynasty and the Jurchen Dynasty.

Standard Four: to deter wars involving more than 20,000 people, either directly or indirectly, or to bring the region of Jiaozhi into a state of chaotic war.

Standard Five: By means of direct or indirect means, gather more than 70% of the local sorcerers and martial arts factions in Jiaozhi into alliances or mergers.

Completing two of the above criteria is considered completing the task. The more criteria you complete, the higher your rating and the richer the rewards.

Note that since the current account balance of the reincarnator is zero, if the mission fails, the user will be directly teleported to the most rewarding Hell difficulty mission at the end of the three-month mission period.

Note that the local language and script have been transmitted to the consciousness of the reincarnated.

Dear reincarnator, may you have a smooth journey!

Mission begins!

The text announcing the task was brief, but it revealed a lot of information.

As Guan Luoyang was pondering, a large amount of new information flooded his mind, part of which was in traditional Chinese characters and part of which was a language somewhat similar to the Cantonese dialect.

The light shield dimmed and disappeared completely, as if the last barrier between people and this world had been removed.

Night then descended, draping itself over Guan Luoyang, followed by the scent of the jungle—a distinct blend of leaves and earth, not pungent.

The chirping of insects and the howling of animals adorned the moonlit sky.

At the same time, a somewhat subtle sound caught Guan Luoyang's attention.

The sound came from the woods a few hundred meters away, like a person carrying two or three hundred pounds of weight, leaping forward. Each time they landed on the damp soil, their feet sank deep into the ground, and with each leap, they turned over the surrounding soil.

The sound was moving in the direction of a place several miles away where many lights were lit.

Guan Luoyang thought for a moment and decided to secretly follow them to take a look.

He had already mastered the second stage of training and was in perfect condition. Even without deliberately unleashing his full potential, he could walk seven or eight meters in a single step, leaving only shallow footprints on the ground. Before long, he was deep in the forest.

After passing some ancient trees and vines, the hopping figure came into view.

It was a gaunt figure with long, gray hair cascading down his back. The clothes he was wearing should have been a loose robe, but because he had been leaping around in the forest, they had been constantly scraped and torn, leaving the sleeves and shoulders in tattered strips.

His jumping trajectory was strange. When an ordinary person jumps forward, it forms an arc, but when he jumps, he is three feet off the ground and floats five or six meters away, almost as if he is moving horizontally, before he begins to fall.

These eerie details immediately reminded Guan Luoyang of the zombies he had seen in movies before.

In this world today, not only has history taken a different turn, but the mission issued by the main god also explicitly states that there are things like demons and ghosts.

Then the identity of the leaping figure in front of us can be almost confirmed.

The zombies quickly crossed the woods and approached the town.

Guan Luoyang was ready to make his move, but he found that the town seemed to have taken precautions. Not only were there lights everywhere, but there were also strong young men patrolling with torches.

The zombie had barely leaped out of the shadows in the woods when it was spotted. Several young men on patrol ran toward the town, shouting in alarm, while banging on a gong.

Every household kept their doors and windows tightly shut, and the elderly, women, and children hid in their homes, not daring to make a sound.

Young and strong figures ran through the streets and began to gather. There were more than fifty people, some carrying pitchforks, some carrying machetes, and some even carrying red-tasseled spears and bows and arrows.

They formed a crescent-shaped formation, surrounding the zombie.

A Taoist priest in a blue robe, with his hair tied up with a wooden hairpin and a slight beard, stepped out from the crowd and rushed toward the zombie with a sharp sword in his hand.
